Is Slowbro Good in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee Playthrough?
Slowbro tanks physical hits and fires back with Psychic and Water coverage that handles Giovanni, Bruno, and Blaine. The raw bulk makes it a mainstay from evolution through the Champion fight. Mega Slowbro in postgame turns it into a physical fortress that almost nothing breaks through.

How to Get Shiny Slowbro in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee
In Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee, the strongest route to a Shiny Slowbro is Catch Combo, which reaches about 1 in 274 at full boosts. Pick a method and tune your setup below to see live odds. Compare Shiny Slowbro odds across every game
Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee Shiny Slowbro Calculator
2 MethodsThe best route is Catch Combo at full boosts, about 1 in 274 on each try. Tune it below.
Catch Combo: Catch one species back-to-back. A Lure stacks on top of a 31-plus combo.
Full Odds: Walk through grass, surf, or fish. Every encounter is its own independent shiny roll.
How many you have done, or plan to do.
| Chance | Encounters |
|---|---|
| 10%lucky few | 29 |
| 25%one in four | 79 |
| 50%coin flip | 190 |
| 90%very likely | 630 |
How is this calculated?
Every encounter has the same shiny chance, the Shiny Odds Per Try shown above. Each one is a separate roll that does not care how many you have already done, so the more you hunt, the higher your overall chance of at least one shiny. The formula below turns your odds and your number of tries into that combined chance.
chance after N tries = 1 − (1 − p)^N, where p = 1 / odds per try
Example at 1 in 8,192 (classic full odds): about 864 encounters for a 10 percent chance, 5,678 for 50 percent, and 18,862 for 90 percent.
The table above flips that around: it shows how many encounters it takes to reach a 10, 25, 50, and 90 percent chance at your current odds. Turning on boosts like the Shiny Charm, sandwiches, or chains improves your odds, so the encounter numbers drop.
These are estimates, not promises. Most games have no pity counter, meaning no guaranteed shiny no matter how many you hunt, so even Very Likely is not guaranteed: some hunters find one early, others go well past that point.
Curious how fast a hunt could go? Work out your Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee shiny odds for Slowbro.
Slowbro Weakness
Slowbro is weak to Electric, Grass, Bug, Ghost, and Dark. It resists 6 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Slowbro's physical bulk (base 110 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Electric, Grass, Bug, Ghost, Dark |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Water, Ice, Fighting, Psychic, Steel |

Slowbro Evolutions
Slowbro is what Slowpoke becomes, and it doesn't evolve any further. The evolution from Slowpoke pushed Slowbro to 490 total stats. Sp.Atk saw the largest single gain at +60. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Let's Go Slowbro Best Moveset
Mega Slowbro locks in 180 Defense, creating something nearly indestructible on the physical side even without the Shell Armor crit protection it has in other games. Without the Mega, 100 Sp. Atk at 30 Speed means the moveset trades last but hits respectably through Water/Psychic TermStab. The Mega is where the defensive identity becomes real.
Best Build
Slowpoke Candy
Tough Candy+DEFRelaxed raises Defense and lowers Speed. Madam Celadon sets this nature when you pick Yellow, then Pink. It costs 10,000 Pokedollars and lasts for the rest of the day.
Candy for Slowbro
- Slowpoke Candy
- Tough Candy
Tough Candy L
Tough Candy XL
Slowpoke Candy raises every stat, but only Slowpoke and Slowbro can eat it. The stat candy that goes with Slowbro is Tough Candy (Defense), and any Pokemon can eat it; Tough Candy L needs level 30 and Tough Candy XL needs level 60 or higher.
Mega Evolution
- Mega Slowbro
Mega Slowbro (Water/Psychic type) has 95 HP, 75 Attack, 180 Defense, 130 Sp. Atk, 80 Sp. Def and 30 Speed, 590 in total. Weak to Electric, Grass, Bug, Ghost and Dark. Resists Fire, Water, Ice, Fighting, Psychic and Steel. Best nature for Mega Slowbro: Relaxed (Madam Celadon: Yellow, then Pink). Mega Stone: 
Slowbronite, sold for 30,000 Pokedollars at the Indigo Plateau after you beat the Elite Four. Pokedex: Under the influence of Shellder’s digestive fluids, Slowpoke has awakened, gaining a great deal of power, and a little motivation to boot.
Mega Evolution can be used once per battle, on one Pokemon.
Master Trainer
Haruka battles with one level 75 Slowbro that knows Disable, Calm Mind, Yawn and Shadow Ball. It takes extra damage from Electric, Grass, Bug, Ghost and Dark moves. Win to earn the Slowbro Master title. Find Haruka on Route 21.
Moves List
Most of Slowbro's flexibility comes from TMs. Same-type output runs through Dream Eater and Surf, but Normal and Ice and the rest of the TM pool push it from predictable to genuinely threatening.
